Where Are You Today? Options

That's what my characters usually do, try to lure them into the sun! 😎 They'll actually sleep all night and wake up early. Get in there and lure as many vamps as possible.

Tordas, Sun's Dusk 19: Joan of Arkay has defeated Umbacano, who defiled Nenalata and became the King of the Nenatala... for a short while, anyway. Joan made quick work of the guy too, despite the skeleton champions he summoned and so on. She looted the traitor, grabbed the Ayleid Crown of Nenalata, a magical helmet with all sorts of effects packed into it, SWEET. That's gonna look real good in her Trophy Room. She also grabbed two keys off his person. Normally she'd never loot keys from anyone but she's curious what sort of dark secrets she can find in the guy's mansion.

That battle wasn't really all that tough (still default difficulty here)! Got some screens of it though. Should have 'em up tomorrow or this weekend.

Edit: she was exhausted after Nenalata and slept a few hours. After getting back on the road she was attacked by a gang of (as we were just discussing) vampires! But there were three or four of them, and it just turned nighttime! So she had no choice but to get on her horse and ride away!

The vamps kept following so she made a left turn eventually, and has just discovered Drunken Dragon Inn.

I guess Joan gave him the real crown then because in Lothran's game he got the Lindai one and that got destroyed when Umbaccano tried to become king.

She also grabbed two keys off his person.

Whoa, there's a fake crown?? Yap I think she got the real one. Reason: it's got like 3 or 4 magical effects baked into it.

Middas, Sun's Dusk 20: She found a new guard (the last one she had is stuck somewhere in Nenalata!) from Drunken Dragon Inn. She was all ready to go, but then spied an Ayleid ruin nearby. Place is called Atatar. She's got 8 out of 10 statues, and has never explored Atatar before. So... gotta do it!

Not a fake crown but one from a rivaling Ayleid clan/tribe and if you give him the Lindai one it gets destroyed when he does the ritual thing. So Lothran only has a destroyed crown as a trophy


Also; he has collected seven statues whereof three are in the now masterless Umbaccano Manor

As per usual Lothran is now in the area around the Isolated House. This is the one area of Cyrodiil that has always messed with my head with regards to directions. Facing the door to the house it feels like I'm facing west but actually it's to the south. I know this, but it doesn't matter. I still get lost if I try to navigate this area without using the map. Just today I thought I was going to the east when I was actually going north, something that was obvious when I suddenly saw the Imperial City in the distance.


I NEVER LEARN!


Edit: I had to edit this because got it wrong. Again....

First Family Funday finished at Fort Linchal between Skingrad and Ka-Vatch. Collected some more Necroclothes including a rare hood.
Also tried locating the deep square hole in the ground that's somewhere in this area but failed, just like last year. I will consult an image taken long time ago and see if I can locate it that way.

Edit: This is it, but quite vague regarding location


Lothran also found another friendly female Khajiit bandit. These are odd as they behave as regular NPCs when it comes to the disposition minigame but like Highwaymen when you initiate a conversation. This despite them being neither regular NPCs (that you should be able to talk to) nor Highwaymen (that you can only bribe to raise their disposition, not play the minigame).

Use shadows, Lothran. If it's morning for instance, and your shadow's pointing to the left, this means he's facing North. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one who uses shadows to figure which direction my character is pointed. 🧭 This is how the whole tape-on-TV stuff began; I gave up the Magical Compass, and at some point began to rely totally on shadows instead. I can't remember which idea came first: the tape or the shadow. Probably shadows.

Whoa, it's a sinkhole!

Maybe all these Khajiit chicks think Lothran is a hottie, with his platinum hair especially. That could lead to some.... interesting roleplay.

The month now being April, I switched from Joan's game to Renee Gade III's game the other day. She was in Kvatch. I was going to make another Kvatch Arena video but I was like "eh". Didn't feel it from her. And since she can't repair her special armor in this town (she got expelled from Fighters Guild awhile back) this means it's time to move on. So last I saw, she's headed toward Skingrad with her horse and her Nord gal companion.

Don't use shadows for location but do use sun for time of day. Sometimes


I will try to locate that hole again later. I'll approach it like when I do jigsaw puzzles; it's all in the detail of the picture


Also; Ms Gade the Third is coming to Skingrad? Is the town big enough for both of them?

Dang. I'm almost certain I'm the only gamer evah who's figured this out. Maybe I should start a poll!

The only time shadows don't work is during that awkward 2-hour period just before and after noon. Shadows are fixed underneath the character at this time. Sometimes my character will simply eat lunch during this time, since trying to travel can lead to misdirection.

PLease do!

Ha ha is Lothran also there? Anyway, she just got her gear repaired by Agnette the Pickled. 🥒 Sure wish I was pickled right now...

[mirocu]

Found the sinkhole!


I had the picture in mind and looked in the area I thought it'd be after the trees and slope etc, and I found it quite easliy. It's located right north of Fort Linchal in fact, and not far from it at all. So now we know for sure

[Renee]

Ah, good to know, Crow. Didn't take too long to find, seems like.

Game Hours: 690:25:22

Well it's Tirdas, Sun's Height 8 and Renee Gade III has returned to the Imperial City. It's usually a BIG day for her and those who travel with her when they all return. The day starts with a shopping trip to the Market of course; buying & selling. 💰 Next comes repairing of gear, which can get pretty costly because her special armor is not cheap to fix. Plus she pays the bill for her two current followers.

Next is lunch at The Feed Bag. Then a trip to the Arena. Not to participate but to bet on a match.

Next? The Arboretum. Gotta get some sightseeing in. And the day concludes back at the Market District, which (in her world) has a bathhouse. After all this she returns to her cottage, located across from the Waterfront. What a day.


Edit: When they went to the Feed Bag a second time it was dinner and the place was packed. Besides the half-dozen conversations running at once all the sudden a bunch of folks sat down! Food & dinnerware began flying everywhere! It was like a food fight!

Sounds like Ms Third's world is quite the busy place indeed. It even has a bathhouse!

Yeah Bathing is fun! I don't know how to explain it. But it's kind of fun. They've got lockers to store stuff in, so anything they're carrying (and clothes of course) get removed into lockers. Then they jump in the pool. RG3 likes to swim in place (autowalk...) and from my perspective, level up her Athletics.

She lost in the Arena yesterday. Bet on the Blue Team, all 100 gold, and lost. She was so upset she didn't bother to speak to Hundolin. Which means next time she DOES so he'll say "Ah, sorry friend..."

Next she's headed to Chorrol.
